So why do I love this play idea? Because it is soooo simple! Babies are entertained by the simplest of things, especially things they see their mommies and daddies using every day - like cups and spoons! I also love that this activity involves very little prep and little clean-up - great for a working mom!

This post shares a few fun and very messy play activities. I love that the babies were involved in the messy day. What a fun way to play with (and learn about) textures. A pool full of green spaghetti...now that's creative!

I love, love, love this light box. And as for Baby Boy? Well, he loves playing in boxes, he loves crawling into tunnels, and he LOVES lights! Yeah, this is right up his alley! So are you taking down your Christmas lights and throwing away some boxes from holiday gifts? Maybe it's time to create a fun, cozy play area for your little one.
